His paternal grandparents were Irish and Spanish immigrants. Unlike his brother Charlie, he and his other siblings did not adopt their father’s stage name.

He made his stage debut with his father in Mister Roberts at Burt Reynolds’ dinner theater in Jupiter, Florida. He has appeared in NBC-TV’s thrillers Nightmares and Tex, the 1982 film version of another S. E. Hinton story. He starred in the cult film Maddox, which was delayed for two years after he was forced to drop out to be Chris Taylor in Private Platoon. He had a role as an extra in Apocalypse Now, but his scenes were deleted. After the success of these back-to-back films, he starred in That Was then and This Was Then, the horror film This Is then, the crime drama Wisdom, and the film Maximum overdrive. He played Two-Bit Mathews, a laid-back guy who has an interest in Mickey Mouse, shown by his uniform of Mickey Mouse T-shirts.
